Panasonic PV-GS320 Camcorder Review at CamcorderInfo

CamcorderInfo has a review of the Panasonic PV-GS320 and is disappointed in the camcorder: “The video quality remains, yet all that made the PV-GS400 great has fallen to cinders. We looked upon its mighty works, and now we despair. … the Panasonic PV-GS320 has so many flaws and missed features that it’s hard to work up a compelling reason to buy it. First of all, the camcorder does not offer a manual focus ring, as indicated by their website. We’ve informed Panasonic of the error, and we hope this review prevents many more people from getting duped. Secondly, the port placements on the PV-GS320 are simple nonsensical. Why hide the DC power, USB, and Firewire cables all behind the battery, essentially killing any possibility of using this for field production? The LCD cavity is completely empty except for the playback speaker, and we’re sure the engineers could have figured out how to relocate the ports there. Also, the SD card slot is on the bottom. This is certainly less of an inconvenience than the other ports, but it means that the card cannot be removed it on a tripod. We love the optical image stabilization, which proved to be amazingly effective in our testing, but was it enough? Not really.”
